Rangers Likely To Let Byrd Walk

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels and Byrd's agent, Sam Levinson, spoke during the GM meetings in Chicago. But negotiations still haven't moved in a positive direction.

"We've had a decent amount of conversation," Daniels told MLB.com. "I expect them to test the market. Based on what they're looking for…we're not in a position to do that right now. We expect them to talk to other clubs and see what's out there. We're going to be looking at alternatives."
